SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)

Sediment reduction credits. Authorizes Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permittees to acquire and use sediment reduction credits as part of a compliance strategy for implementing the Chesapeake Bay TMDL. Currently, MS4s have similar authority for nitrogen and phosphorus; the bill adds a third pollutant, sediment. The sediment credits cannot be used if they are associated with phosphorus credits used in stormwater nonpoint nutrient runoff water quality criteria. This bill is identical to SB 292.
